Chapter one
I was getting really tired of my boyfriend.
I mean, don't get me wrong, he was everything a boyfriend could be. And more. He was probably the nicest, sweetest, cutestest boyfriend ever. No, seriously.
But when he got mad, boy, did he get mad. But he never got mad at me.
One time, when Clay Sander's(one of the most worst guys in the world. A true skank.) hit on me at a party, Vincent (my boyfriend that is) took his head swung it back(I swear you could just hear it whip back and forth), banged it against the wall, and then he put his head right into the bowl of punch. It took all my strength to pry away Vincent's hands from Clay's hair. Clay would have drowned if it wasn't for me.
And the funny thing? Clay never even once pressed charges. It was like Vincent mind control over him. But he probably just bribed him. His parents were very rich.
So any ways, Vincent was a great boyfriend. He would remember our anniversary, my birthday, and he practically worshiped the ground I walked on.
But it just felt like the magic was gone. Whenever he kissed me, I was thinking of something else entirely. Or someone you could say.
Conrad Murray. I had been seeing him for a few months now. And it was surprising that Vincent hadn't found out yet.
And I don't know why I hadn't told him that it was over. Maybe it was something intimidating about him. And I just couldn't find the right way to tell him.
I was thinking about all this when Conrad had his mouth on my neck, and was creating a hickey which I would later cover with a scarf when I went over to Vincent's tonight.
"Conrad, Conrad stop. I have to go over to Vincent's tonight, I don't want to hide another hickey." I started to pull him away, and as I did so, Conrad got this very unhappy look on his face.
"I have a great solution to that problem." Conrad started, I rolled my eyes, here we go again.
"Break up with him!"
I sighed. "I can't. It would crush him."
"Then I'll tell him, that your dating me now." Poor poor Conrad. He didn't now that would be the death of him.
"Umm...Then Vincent would crush you. Please just give me some time." I made my puppy dog eyes at him.
They didn't seem to be working. "Dana, I like you. A lot. Please do this for me. What's the worst that can happen? He's not going to eat you."
"I guess. Okay. Conrad, I will tell him tonight. But if I'm not back by morning check up on me." I joked.
He laughed. "Now this is why I like you." He pulled me into an embrace and kissed my forehead.
"I like you a lot too." I said. I put my head on his chest and closed my eyes.
Just like I used to do with Vincent.
"Vincent, umm...I've been feeling...and maybe you've been feeling to...that umm..." I just couldn't do this. I just couldn't.
"I have been feeling. That's what humans are known to do." Vincent smiled at me. And despite that I was about to break up with him, I smiled back.
"Yeah. But there is something very important i have to say to you." I took a breath, "And that is-"
"I'm a vampire."
Do you ever get the feeling when it's like your falling in a black hole while someone is punching you in the gut? Well, that's not really the feeling I was getting. It was more like, well, shock. There really was no other word for it. But then I reliezed that he was joking. I mean a vampire? Really?
"Vincent, you have never been the humorous type, but that was the funniest thing you have ever said. God that was funny. For a second I was really shocked. But that was really funny." I laughed, and put my hand on his rock hard shoulder to steady myself.
"Dana, I'm not kidding. I really am a vampire. Here I'll prove it to you." He took my hand and laid it over his chest. "Can you feel my heartbeat?"
Of course I couldn't. You can't feel someone's heartbeat by feeling it. You had to listen to it.
"No I can't. You can only hear a heartbeat by putting your ear to the chest to listen to it." I mentally added on the 'duh'.
"That's right. Humans don't have that good of feeling like vampires." I rolled my eyes at that one but let it go. Let him have his moment. I mean, he was about to get his heart broken.
Vincent gentally laid my head on his chest. And I was imediatly stunned. There was no heartbeat.
"What? What did you do? Did you, like, take something to do that? Because that's really cool."
He sighed. "Dana, please. Please believe me. Wait. I have an idea. Dana, think of something right now, but don't tell me." He seemed to light up. Fine. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
"Okay. I thought of something. I wonder if Beyonce is coming to town? I decided to think of something totally random. He could never guess this.
"Your wondering if Beyonce is coming to town." I was shocked for the third time in the last five minutes.
"Umm...lucky guess?"
"Dana don't tell me you have always known that there was something different about me? I know how terrified you must be right now. But please the reason I'm telling you this is because you should know everything about me if well..."
I looked at him. Please don't say what I think your going to say.
"I love you Dana."
Okay. Now is when the hole falling in a black hole and punching in the stomach feeling comes in.
"Vincent, I...don't feel the same way. Actually I think we should break up. I'm sorry." The words spilled out of my mouth before I realized that he was a FREAKIN VAMPIRE!!!
Vincent's eye twitiched. Seriously. It did.
"Have...have you been cheating on me with Conrad?" How the hell did he know?
"How...how did you know?"
"Mind reading. Remember?"
There was that sinking feeling again.
"Then how did you not know sooner?" If he could read minds, how did he not find out right away?"
"I was trying to respect your privacy by not reading your mind. Wow. A lot of good that did."
"Vincent, I'm so so sorry." I looked down at my feet.
"You should be." Then he started to walk away, as soon as I thought he was gone for good, He turned around and looked me straight in the eye and said, "Oh and by the way, you and Conrad are dead. I will kill you both if it takes till the end of time. And don't worry it will be slow." Then, as fast as light, he walked off into the darkness.
I suddenly felt a little dizzy. Before I could steady myself I dropped to the floor.
I think this is what you'd call falling into a black hole, someone punching you, and having someone hack your head off kind of feeling. This is going to be a fun night.
